Waiting for Mr. Right?

CNN's Tony Harris talks to the author of the new book, "Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough."

[@sevenstargoal]

I had to look up this video after watching Aba and Preach commentate on it. Then I looked at the date. It was 11 years ago! Shows we never learn. Its been getting worse out here.

I first saw this on Aba & Preach maybe a year ago. It just popped into my feed. Did not realize it was that old. Wonder how that black girl is doing.

[@holeymcsockpuppet]

11 years ago! If she said this today she would have her career destroyed and CNN would both fire that interviewer and issue a lengthy apology.

[@pulga1986ify1]

[@victo2440]

@@pulga1986ify1 Of course it's still relevant, but you can't say it on TV because it reflects bad on women.

@@victo2440 which is pathetic when people can't acknowledge reality for what it is. We in the West constantly turn to social media and stupid comedies/romantic comedies as a way to escape from the real world they live in.

[@fwd105]

Society has driven people to expect the fairytale life when they grow up. The difference is men are raised to be providers so they realise early on dreams and reality arent linked. Women on the other hand can continue to wish for the perfect prince charming as their role is to attract. The balance of reality doesnt sink in until much later.. sometimes when it's too late.

Yall wasnt with me in my 20s so you are cut off from my success in my 30s. Marriage is a shit deal for the guy anyway. This video came out when I was 20, women behaviors hasnt changed they mutated to onlyfans now.

[@MandingoEmpire]

Wow 11 years ago 😳

[@machtnichtsseimann]

What is striking: So what if a guy does an Austin Powers impersonation on the second date!? Was she stating it's fine to ditch a guy over THAT, or because the woman is not impressed with the impersonation itself? Sounds like she's actually enabling women to continue to be so picky that they will continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

[@ermenegildogarrulo8848]

What film is that scene from? Thank you. In particular, I would like to know what the characters played by Clooney and that blonde actress say. By knowing the film, I will be able to find its script.

[@Zzzsleepzzz]

up in the air

[@rockmyworldmusic]

Spoiler Alert...... The worst part is that they made George Clooney's character go from consummate and confident Playboy to the exact kind of simp that women say they want but ultimately don't. So guess what happens after he makes the transition... you are absolutely right oh, he gets dumped!

[@libertyforoneandall]

Most of societal ills can be traced to the parents. Yes, there are stand alone instances where parental influence had no effect, but in most cases women who have unrealistic expectations have them because all the life they have been told how they are a perfect princess and no man will be good enough for "daddy's little princess".

[@guysovereign]

What movie is the first part from?

Yeah I noticed that. Dude is annoying, he interrupted her at least three or four times before she did the same to him. I guess this was just a speed piece to squeeze in to fill time and "because it's Valentine's Day". A shame she didn't get more time, her book sounds interesting; may try and find it and see how it is.

Wow this is an entirely different world on video here. The interviewer actually seems like a human, even if he's putting on an act for the camera. He even challenges her in a respectful way to get a better dialogue. What the fuck happened?

[@claritas6557]

Hollywood and Television are the ones who caused this damage. Videos, in a word. This has ruined mating, in the Western world at least, and I don't know how to fix this. How do you show a woman that she isn't a princess, and have her turn into a realist?

[@Drarack]

Why does everyone always keep bringing up Angelina Jolie as this supposed paragon of attractiveness? Her lips look like a life raft. I can see how s people could perceive her as attractive, but come on, she is your go to example for unattainably high beauty standards?

[@rockmyworldmusic]

Because of her overall sex appeal. I think her lips are okay but I get why other guys think they're too big. But even still, she just carries herself in a sexy way.

[@SuperXrunner]

I wondered where and who she surveyed because not every woman is so picky. It is not fair to generalize and say women are picky. If anything men are picky 'too' , ask the women who are changing themselves because they don't think they can get a 'decent' man unless they look like a Angelina Jolie' or any other hollywood superstar.

[@vivekiyer9062]

And I have a 26 year old example of who she interviewed right in my own family. Most of her friends too think the same way that she does. So yeah Lori seems to have interviewed a broad enough section of women.

[@NM-ru2qj]

Not all of them but a good amount. And it’s always the mediocre ones who have incredibly high standards.

[@rockmyworldmusic]

Clearly you missed the video and the tons of others like it. Men in general are absolutely NOT too picky. Guys will have a list of four or five attributes they want from a partner. Many women will have 40 or 50 characteristics easily.
